I must say I find the prospect of 3d printing fabrication very exciting. There's a bunch of stuff I could do with it given suitable materials, which of course will be the crunch part.

I have seen the 3d printer at Allen brothers in action.
We use CNC to cut our foam core and build new plugs...The 49er plugs was re cut in 2009 to do the new deck mould.

You should get busy with those CNC cutters and cut the back off that Aura and make it a lovely single hander for small people..

It's big step between nice and lovely..
On another note, my kite folk are doing some pretty amazing stuff with a laser cutter, just think of what you could do with foils, they could be made so they made no noise, imagine that.. |

we have just got a 3D printer at college, and a mate at uni has 3D printed a complete jib car system, it all moves, even the ball bearings inside!
